Right now, I'm in Zomba with Claire and Karen. It's a city about 2 hours north of Blantyre. We're going to walk around town this morning and then climb a mountain up to a plateau, where we will spend the night. I took some good pictures of the locals from on the mini bus. This past week, we've been strapping babies to our backs and carring them in chitenjis like the local women do. It's a lot of fun ...

We went from Blantyre to the Zomba Plateau and stayed one night. We hiked the basically straight up "Potato Path" to get to the top from Zomba town. Unfortunately once we got there we realized it was mother's day and the cheap places to eat were closed. So after hiking around a little on the Plateau, we had to eat dinner at the really expensive hotel. It was a good buffet and BBQ and we just ...

What a ****** day. Began to wonder what the hell we were doing. Began with two hours on the back of a pickup from Monkey Bay South towards Liwonde National Park. Fine if you're alone and on a tarmac road. Not if you're there with 30 Malawians on a gravel track. Was holding on pretty tightly all the way, nightmare - the sort of experience that makes you become religious and praying to the god you never believed in. Fine for Kate though, she managed ...

Aangekomen in Zomba, kom ik samen met Angela Sergio weer tegen !! Zomba is een klein echt lokaal plaatsje waar je nog het gevoel hebt van de buitenwereld (lees: europa) bent afgesloten. Al is er altijd wel ergens een mogelijkheid om internet op te gaan...pfff... Lokaal eten bestaat nog steeds uit Nsima (uit mais gehaald, bloem (flower)) met groente en meat/chicken. Dit voor 150 MTC ...

Merry Christmas and hope that you all enjoyed your day, ate loads of food and got some great pressies. Kandi beach where we spent Christmas was lovely. It was on the edge of Lake Malawi and the sun was out, the water was nice and the pig on the spit that we had for dinner was lovely. Probably best bit of meat we have had so far. It was cooked to perfection. We spent the next 3 days lazing by the lake, doing some diving which was ...

... projects to consider and to fund before the beginning of the year. Most projects to this point, both in scholarships and livelihood development have been successful. We try to tell them about the LifeNets mission of providing practical aid that makes people self-sustaining and then helps them help others. Bill Jahns and I both gave sermons, Bill about the Resurrection and I spoke about marriage ...

WOW!!! What a day!! Today was our day to see several of our LifeNets success stories for the Malawi people. We want to give special commendation to Henry Khembo who has driven us around all day long today. It was a hard journey. I had NEVER been on roads as bad as the one we traveled on and we stayed all within Blantyre today. We were in the within the Ndilande and the Chirinda sections of town. Ndilande is densely populated compacted into a ...

After arrival in Zomba we looked around for accomodation for a while (as per usual but how easy it is in a vehicle). We made the awesome discovery of granny Stevens (?) cottage. Situated right on the edge of the plateau this house had been left exactly as the old lady whose it was had left it when she died. Right down to the books, bone handled cutlery and servants too. We were truly spoilt by three bathrooms complete with baths ...
